WILD CARD PLAYERS: Studies on Lying, Dogmatic, and Creative Persons, by Paul R. Henrickson, Department of Art, University of Northern Iowa, 1970) suggest that 4% of the untrained, uneducated and unsophisticated judging population are as perceptive as experts in a field. If consensus could establish truth and point out the beautiful there would be no reason for the loftier concerns of rarer persons. The perceptive individual is capable of responding, intuitively perhaps, but still effectively, and with insight, on a level of excellence comparable to the specialist. Therefore, it is not surprising the perceptive person loses interest in inept and misguided exercises that reduce intelligent behavior while encouraging mindless intellection and conformist thought processes. Such people resist group pressure to conform with consensus reality. This segment of the population is more creative than the majority and includes a small group who have not been professionally trained yet clearly demonstrate the ability to make professional level judgments that are more perceptive. Yet, this is a society, that is ruled by the non-creative lying conformist. (Henrickson, http://tcp.com.mt)

NEW SITE: What happens when stressed-out vets return from the war theatre and try to resume their lives with business-as-usual? Many, if not most, find that to be impossible, because they are not the same as they were prior to deployment. In fact, many contend with sleepless nights, inability to focus, depression and Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.

Veteran's PTSD is a multidimensional issue involving disabilities, traumatic brain injury, psychophysical regulation, stress-management, depression, grief, dissociation, and perhaps ADHD, T-type behavior, chronic pain management, alcohol and drug use, and compulsive disorders. Soldiers in the 101st Airborne claim most use alchol and drugs in excess, including Valium and marijuana. That is the short list, as each unique individual will have particular adjustment issues depending on their life and combat histories. Some also have service-related chronic health issues from vaccines, Gulf War Syndrome, DU, etc.

New Nov 2009 - CRYPTOPORTICUS PRODUCTIONS, a transmedia venture, dedicated to revealing such underground connections among the control mechanisms of modern society. The cryptoporticus is also a vault in which are stored the secrets of cultural continuity - a failsafe for human survival technology. In ancient Roman architecture, a "cryptoporticus" was a labyrinthine underground passage connecting all aspects of cultural life. Only partially at groundlevel, it supports a vast concealed architecture that communicates in secret among its numerous different centers. It is a matrix of nexus points. Many examples are found across Europe, but similar tunnels exist throughout Washington D.C. Literally, carved in stone, such large underground passageways are analogous to today's underground bases, SAC, hardened survival bunkers, book depositories, archives, seed vaults, etc. The labyrinthine convolutions of today's challenges mean we need to learn how to make our way through this tangled maze to "the Light at the end of the tunnel." These holographic or virtual tunnels can be 'mined' for their informational value, helping us choose which way to go.

EDGEWORKS: The transformative worldview that we are all in it together is the only foundation for mutually assured survival rather than the deadly alternative. EDGEHUNT means expressing something relevant we haven’t seen in the mashup before so it can be addressed through sacred activism, personal and collective. Be an advocate for the future. Steele claims, “Modern IO is not about the old messages of psychological operations (PSYOPS), but rather about empowering billions of people with both information tools and access to truthful information. It is about education, not manipulation. It is about sharing, not secrecy. It is about human understanding to create wealth and stabilize societies, not about the threat of violence and the delivery of precision munitions. IO substitutes information for violence.”

"PUBLIC INTELLIGENCE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST"

"Control follows awareness." - Special Ops maxim

"Mission creep" is the expansion of a project or mission beyond its original goals, often after initial successes. It describes an individual, group or system attempting to do more than is allowed by the the current mandate, perhaps at an escalating rate.Mission creeps yield to the temptation to go beyond the scope of best practice compromising central goals. A term of disapproval, mission creep is usually considered undesirable due to the dangerous path of each success breeding more ambitious attempts, only stopping when a final, often catastrophic, failure occurs. Temporary advances are followed by blowback. The term was originally applied exclusively to military operations, but is applicable to intelligence and espionage, politics, finance, media, social engineering, draconian legislation, as well as the toxic growth of academia, bureaucracies and corporations. It also relates to the militarization of civilian life, including the merger of intelligence and police, defense and domestic law enforcement. They have penetrated one another. Misdirected leaders convince themselves they are more productive in their assignments if they deploy unfettered power to implement their agendas. A prime example is the covert operation COINTEL Factor targeting US citizens. Another is the fusion of federal, state and local intelligence originally against terrorism. Fusion centers increasingly are focused on super-surveillance collecting and analyzing criminal and all-hazards. Mission creep is ubiquitos wherever oversight is lacking. Losing sight of objectives, it kicks open the door to invasion of privacy and infringements on our civil rights, constitutional and human rights. Mission creep hit home while the American public was paying attention to other things. This misdirection and distraction is psyops, an information and mind control war for your willing compliance and/or controlled rebellion. Don't fall for it; fight back with DIY mind control. Reverse engineer your psychophysical control mechanisms. The Re-Evolution will be internalized. I know what you fear and it's true, but when you no longer fear, you rediscover your active compassion.

CHANGE AGENT: Rather than having an interest in specific doctrines, she is interested in the transformations, the EFFECTS of doctrines from religion, science, psychology, politics and the arts. Our beliefs are the moldable raw material of the psyche, manipulated by governments, media and culture. How do we become what we are and how is that process changing in the near future?

In the art of Qabalah, NETZACH is the realm of creative imagination, affect, aesthetic arrest. It also means clarity, brightness, sincerity, and truth. It is the sphere of meaning, divine beauty, the inner glow that results from the merging of human and divine. Art reflects the cosmic creative process. The evolution of art mirrors our liberation from time, space and personality. No longer bound by normal sensory frames, we are removed from time and desire.

Through the magick of art we give birth to our vision of reality. This imaginal reality has the occult or hidden ability to radically transform us. Art is the secret of the secret art. We gain independence through the construction of images in both science and art. Art is therapeutic magic. It mediates the Great Unknown through the power of self-expression as the inner becomes the outer. We turn ourselves inside-out.

We are works of art. Our consciousness is a formative power. Art is an aesthetic mystical experience. Art is an upwelling. Creativity is a constant. We have intuitive access to the collective pool and to our cultural destiny. We discover our originality. Art expands our consciousness. It can be prophetic. Imagination flows through us, welling up from our core as a flow state. In an artfully and heartfully lived life, we can apply a similar strategy to our spirituality. Our lives become multidimensional artful expressions without frames, embodied in living Light. Process-oriented spirituality is an art that is eclectic and intensely personal.

Metaphors and models of science are increasingly relevant in the artworld and transmodern mysticism. Art and science begin as imaginative speculation anticipating a unity or gestalt. The same holds true for the science-art of alchemy. Metaphors reflect universal or holistic references and processes, connecting concepts across disciplines. There is a dimension of reality that transcends mind and matter -- the crystalline chaotic sea of virtual photon flux.
